On this date in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge opened to the public in San Francisco, California. At its completion, it was the world's longest suspension bridge, a record previously held by the George Washington Bridge in New York City, and would keep that record until 1964, when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Brooklyn was built. Currently, the record for the world's longest suspension bridge is held by the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in southern Japan near the city of Kobe.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
